What Is This Thing?



It was on 380 yesterday and then traveled 51 Northbound.  There are lots of wheels on that rig not to mention the truck in the front and back. Plus there's a guy steering the back of the trailer like an old time firetruck.

If it is that big and heavy, our government must be involved.

there was another set up just like that come thru bridgeport yesterday on 101 but the front truck was red and had a huge sleeper on it. Maybe its Obama's body....oops, i mean bin laden's body.

That's easy. The trailer is carting around the block of Benjamins representing Exxon's first quarter profits. But don't get alarmed, those profits have nothing to do with the price you pay at the pump, it is all perfectly explained by supply and demand. If you don't believe that, see the comments of Bab Graham and William Reilly (our president's picks to head his commission on oil and gas price collusion).

Old Time firetruck. Wrong! They are called Tiller trucks and are still being used today. Dallas just bought several new ones.

Isn't the president visiting Texas today? I bet it's all his golf garb.

if it's heavy and large and is using a kazillion gallons of fuel to move it then it MUST be something to mess up our environment further - courtesy of some big oil company.

I have not commented on The Blog in nearly a week and have been too busy to leave more than a handful of comments the past month and yet I am STILL at the forefront of your thoughts.

Thank you for letting me know that I really do matter in your life and me being me is something that just keeps eating at you.

I don't know, but I bet there's some good banjo music playing in the cabs of both of those trucks.

I know exactly what this convoy is, not sure of the cargo but the rig is from Diamond Heavy Haul. I think it is their dual lane or super dual lane trailer.

More than likely it's a generator of some kind. Judging by the color of the rig, the company is Mammoet, and they are pretty much the word when it comes to anything heavy-haul. The number of wheels and axels is required not only to distribute the massive weight, probably a few hundred thousand pounds, but each individual axel can be turned independently, which is obviously a must for a trailer that is 200+ feet long. The truck is the back is the "Push" rig for hills, as anybody who has driven 51knows there are an abundance of. . . There ya go Barry, hope that helps. There's also a ton of really cool pics and videos on the web if you just search the company name, which I think means mammoth or massive in Finnish, or some northern European country.
